Underwhelming in every respect. Boring game loop, lackluster NSFW content tied to dull mechanics designed to waste your time , every aspect of this game apes those godawful F2P gacha games except it doesn't even have microtransactions so it somehow manages to get being a bad game wrong!
The NSFW content is just bad. I was able to find two animations tied to an annoying "energy" mechanic that required me to spam them so the girls they're tied to would get energy back. Note that the girls exist to slowly dole out items to you, and if their energy gets low they still give you items, except a little more slowly, and to get their energy back up you have to sit and click on the side of the screen to watch an "animation" or either the molegirl move her arm back and forth or the slimegirl lay down and slide a tendril over the place where her genitals would be if she had them. Neither animation is voiced or has sound effects despite both characters having voices, but that's for the best considering the molegirl is incredibly annoying to listen to. "FEEEEEEESH!" "HOOMY!" Even the creator agrees the voices are bad because THEY GAVE YOU THE OPTION TO TURN OFF INDIVIDUAL VOICES. THEY KNEW, THEY FUCKING *KNEW*, AND YET THEY STILL WENT AHEAD ANYWAY.
Please, for the love of god, please understand that when most people play NSFW games it isn't because they're looking to see a number slowly go up over the course of dozens upon dozens of hours, they want NSFW content -- they want *porn*. Some porn games are just vehicles for animations with virtually no input needed from the player. Others are just simple, mindless games that manage to be amusing and charming that integrate small amounts of NSFW imagery into an addicting gameplay loop. Still others are so well-made that they almost make you think they're real games! YOU SOMEHOW MANAGED TO MAKE THIS GAME NONE OF THESE THINGS.
Mineheart Abyss is the antithesis of a game. It's a chore. There's zero payoff for any of the effort you put in. You spin plates for no reward. I actually broke down and joined your Patreon to see if the full version was any different, because there are those creators that will purposely make their demos annoying to play in the hopes that people will think with their dicks and shell out cash for something worthwhile. Nope, not you! Not only is the full version still the gaming equivalent of a mouthful of wet cardboard, I looked in your Discord and found out that you're not only going to make the "gameplay" even more of a chore but MAKING IT RELIANT ON RNG AS WELL! SO NOT ONLY IS THE PORN BAD, BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN RELIABLY MAKE NUMBER GO UP!
This is a masterclass in how not to make a good NSFW game. Even the shitty AI-generated games that plague Itch.io are better than this, because you're putting actual *effort* into being boring. They just ask ChatGPT to pinch off a bunch of animations of Pomni giving birth to ballons or whatever while you painstakingly program a disturbingly accurate simulation of mining asbestos with no protective gear while a mole screams at you about feesh.
I can't believe I gave you ten bucks to simulate purgatory.
